In his second inaugural speech, President Obama called for the extension of laws that would give gays more protections and benefits under federal law.

"Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law, for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well," said Obama.

The president's comments were made while outlining what seemed to be protections for minorities and undocumented immigrants. The speech, which also falls on the federal holiday that celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., appeared to take on similarities to the former civil rights leader's infamous "I Have a Dream" speech....

Excellent comment! And Martin, thanks for yours also. Both are right on!

"If we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well." What sort of asinine logic is that? Would he say that the love which an incestuous brother and sister commit to each other is 'equal' to the love two unrelated heterosexuals commit to each other in marriage? Would he say that the love which a pedophile commits to the child he is sexually abusing is 'equal' to the love an adult man and woman pledge to each other in marriage? It doesn't follow logically that if people are created with equal rights under the law, then whatever 'love' they pledge to any sexual partner (or partners) they choose is 'equal' to the marital love that God commands husbands to show their wives and wives their husbands. Equal rights under the law does not translate into the moral equivalency of all forms of 'love' under the sun. Moreover, Obama's statement rests on the false assumption that the statutory definition of marriage is nothing but a means by which society gives formal approval to people's subjective feelings of 'love' for each other. But that's not true. Society gives legal benefits to heterosexual unions, as opposed to other unions, because such unions lead generally to the propagation and nurture of children-- a compelling state interest.
